Young carers - support and advice

Young carers

Young carers are children who look after someone in their family who has an illness, a disability, a mental health problem or a substance misuse problem. Young carers take on practical and/or emotional caring responsibilities that would normally be expected of an adult.

Cumbria County Council provide support and advice Young Carers as part of their Children's Services.
